02/19/2006 - Why I Haven't Upgraded My PC, Yet
It seems improvement in technology doesn’t always mean better, but also a compromise of the old for the new. For example, word processing makes editing and distribution much easier and more efficient. However, a simple type writer doesn’t require you to be plugged into an electric grid nor require a complex, high maintenance hardware. Since it’s difficult to consider myself a futurist and actually have had used a type writer before, I would have to consider myself a techno realist. This is probably not unlike most people considering themselves middle class in terms of income.
